Didn't see a post for this.

The Internet Archive has been building a growing collection of old PC games over the years, with a batch of DOS games added in 2015, and Windows 3.1 games in 2016—all of them playable in your browser. This month another update has hit the collection, and now 2,500 more games (often with their manuals) have been preserved for the ages.

You can play them online here. Some work and some don't I found. Maybe my pc?

Kinda cool to go back and play some forgotten games.

It's not the first batch they have added, they added loads a few months back.

Emulation of consoles gets all the attention but I feel what Internet Archive is doing is a massive and brilliant effort for helping games preservation, especially when PC gets ignored so much when it comes to celebrating and talking about old videogames.

Can't play it on the PCs at work in the Airport... bah! Or it does, but controls don't seem to work anyways... This off-season boredom is going to kill me...
